IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION

NOTICE

MTE Series RL Line/Load Reactors are components designed to improve the reliability of adjustable frequency drives, DC drives and a wide variety of other types of power electronic equipment. In addition they provide input line current harmonic mitigation and long lead protection for inverter fed motors. MTE reactors are available in a large number of current ratings and a variety of inductance values. The suitability of a line/load reactor for a specific application must therefore be ultimately determined by the customer. In no event will MTE Corporation assume responsibility or liability for any direct or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of reactors. Nor will MTE Corporation assume patent liability with respect to the use of information, circuits or equipment described in this instruction manual.

1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CAN CARRY OUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF LINE/LOAD REACTORS

WARNING

High voltage is used in the operation of line/load reactors. Use Extreme caution to avoid contact with high voltage when operating, installing or repairing equipment containing line/load reactors. INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.

Line/load reactors are used in conjunction with inverters, or other electrical equipment that may feedback lethal voltages. Follow the safety instructions in the equipment used with the reactor in addition to the safety instruction in this manual.

WARNING The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, line/load reactors should be examined and replaced if damaged.

WARNING An upstream disconnect/protection device must be used as required by the National Electrical Code (NEC).

WARNING Even if the upstream disconnect/protection device is open, a drive or inverter down stream of the line/load reactor may feed back high voltage to the reactor. The inverter or drive safety instructions must be followed. INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF THE DRIVE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.

WARNING The frame of line/load reactors must be grounded at least at one of the reactor’s mounting holes.

WARNING Only spare parts obtained from MTE Corporation or an authorized MTE distributor can be used


2. INTRODUCTION

This manual was specifically developed to assist in the installation, interconnection and operation of MTE Corporation Series RL Line/Load Reactors This manual is intended for use by personnel experienced in the operation and maintenance of electronic drives, inverters and similar types of power electronic equipment. Because of the high voltages required by the equipment connected to line/load reactors and the potential dangers presented by rotating machinery, it is essential that all personnel involved in the operation and maintenance of line/load reactors know and practice the necessary safety precautions for this type of equipment. Personnel should read and understand the instructions contained in this manual before installing, operating or servicing line/load reactors and the drive to which the reactor is connected.

Upon Receipt of a Reactor: MTE Line/load Reactors have been subjected to demanding factory tests before shipment. Carefully inspect the shipping container for damage that may have occurred in transit. Then unpack the filter and carefully inspect for any signs of damage. Save the shipping container for future transport of the reactor. In the event of damage, please contact and file a claim with the freight carrier involved immediately. If the equipment is not going to be put into service upon receipt, cover and store the reactor in a clean, dry location. After storage, ensure that the equipment is dry and that no condensation has accumulated on the reactor before applying power.

Repair/Exchange Procedure MTE Corporation requires a Returned Material Authorization Number before it can accept any reactors that qualify for return or repair. If problems or questions arise during installation, setup, or operation of the filter, please call us for assistance at:

5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Open Line/Load Reactor Installation

MTE line/load reactors are available in open construction and in NEMA 1 enclosures. Open reactors are designed for mounting within an appropriate electrical equipment enclosure. Reactors rated 300 amperes RMS and under are designed for mounting in both a vertical and horizontal position. Larger reactors must be mounted in a horizontal position typically on the floor of the enclosure. Include the power dissipation of the reactor along with all the other components located in the enclosure to determine the internal temperature rise and cooling requirements of the enclosure. Reactors may be located in any region of the enclosure where the ambient temperature does not exceed 45 degrees C. Allow a minimum side clearances of four (4) inches and vertical clearances of six (6) inches for proper heat dissipation and access. Do not locate the reactor next to resistors or any other component with operating surface temperatures above 125 degree C. Select a well ventilated, dust-free area away from direct sunlight, rain or moisture. Do not install in or near a corrosive environment. Avoid locations where the reactor will be subjected to excessive vibrations.

NEMA 1 Enclosed Line/Load Reactor Installation

Top conduit entry recommended for NEMA 1 enclosed reactor.

MTE line/load reactors mounted in enclosures with part number, CAB-8, are designed for wall mounting. All other enclosures are designed for floor mounting.

WARNING MTE NEMA 1 enclosure is designed for floor mounting must be mounted with the enclosure base horizontal for proper ventilation. Wall mounting a floor mounted enclosure with the base against the wall will cause the reactor to over heat resulting in equipment damage. Allow a minimum side, front, and back clearances of twelve (12) inches and vertical clearances of eighteen (18) inches for proper heat dissipation and access. Do not locate the enclosure next to resistors or any other component with operating surface temperatures above 125 degree C. Select a well ventilated, dust-free area away from direct sunlight, rain or moisture where the ambient temperature does not exceed 40 degrees C. Do not install in or near a corrosive environment. Avoid locations where the reactor will be subjected to excessive vibrations. Where desirable, enclosures may be mounted on vibration isolating pads to reduce audible noise. Standard vibration control pads made from neoprene or natural rubber and selected for the weight of the enclosed reactor are effective.


Power Wiring Connection

WARNING

Input and output power wiring to the reactor should be performed by authorized personnel in accordance with the NEC and all local electrical codes and regulations. Verify that the power source to which the reactor is to be connected is in agreement with the nameplate data on the reactor. A fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker should be installed between the reactor and its source of power in accordance with the requirements of the NEC and all local electrical codes and regulations. Refer to the drive, inverter, or other electrical equipment user manual for selection of the correct fuse rating and class. The reactor is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 65,000 rms symmetrical amperes at 480 volts when protected by Bussman type JJS, KTK, KTK-R, SPP or T class fuses. Reactor are designed for use with copper conductors with a minimum temperature rating of 75 degrees C. Table 2 lists the wire range and terminal torque requirements for the power input and output connections by reactor part number. Refer to Figure 4 for typical electrical diagrams describing the application of reactors in both line and load applications. For reactors supplied as a component part of a drive system or a component part of power electronic apparatus follow the interconnection diagram supplied by the System Engineer. Where desirable, a flexible conduit connection to the reactor enclosure should be made to reduce audible noise.

WARNING Failure to connect reactors supplied as a component part of a drive system or other power electronic system according to the system interconnection diagram supplied by the System Engineer will result in equipment damage, injury, or death.

WARNING If a line reactor or a line reactor and a load reactor are used with a drive equipped with a bypass circuit, the reactors must be removed from the motor circuit in the bypass mode. Damage to the motor and other equipment will result if this warning is not observed.


Grounding

A stud is provided on enclosed reactors for grounding the enclosure. The enclosure must be grounded. Open reactors must be grounded at the designated grounding terminal or the reactor mounting holes if no designated grounding terminal is provided.

WARNING The frame of line/load reactors must be grounded at the designated grounding terminal or one of the reactor mounting holes if no designated grounding terminal is provided. The enclosure of reactors supplied in enclosures must be grounded. INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.

6. STARTUP Safety Precautions

Before startup, observe the following warnings and instructions:

WARNING A Reactor is at line potential when the Reactor is connected to the utility. This voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury if you come in contact with it.

WARNING

High voltage is used in the operation of line/load reactors. Use Extreme caution to avoid contact with high voltage when operating, installing or repairing equipment containing line/load reactors. Line/load reactors are used in conjunction with inverters, or other electrical equipment that may feedback lethal voltages. Follow the safety instructions in the equipment used with the reactor in addition to the safety instruction in this manual. INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETYPRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED. Sequence of Operation 1. Read and follow safety precautions. 2. After installation, ensure that:

• All Reactor ground terminals are connected to ground. • Power wiring to the utility, drive and motor is in accordance with the interconnection diagrams

supplied by the System Engineer. 3. Check that moisture has not condensed on the Reactor. If moisture is present, do not proceed

with startup until the moisture has been removed.

4. Proceed with startup according to the instructions provided by the system supplier.

WARNING Reactors are a component part of an electrical system. Do not proceed with startup until the system startup instructions provided by the System Engineer are understood and followed. Injury, death and damage to equipment may result if the system startup instructions are not followed.

WARNING Use extreme caution to avoid contact with line voltage when checking for power. INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.


PRODUCT Performance Standard Type “RL” AC Line / Load Reactors

AUDIBLE NOISE: Guard-AC Line/Load Reactors offer low noise operation. Core and coil construction, flux density control, harmonic compensation as well as our epoxy impregnation process assure minimal audible noise radiation. Although our reactors are typically “quiet”, waveforms vary by drive type and application and therefore reactor audible noise may vary by application. Noise levels may be affected by type of motor and motor conductor as well as motor conductor length. Typical audible noise levels for units selected from our catalog by HP rating are: 2 thru 12 amps 55 dBA 18 thru 100 amps 65 dBA 130 thru 400 amps 70 dBA 500 thru 1200 amps 75 dBA Service Factor: Guard-AC reactors are compensated for the additional currents and high frequencies caused by the presence of harmonics. The reactor fundamental current rating indicates the typical full load motor current. Standard reactors rated 2 amps thru 400 amps offer a full 1.5 service factor rating which allows them to carry overload current up to 150% of their fundamental rating when applied as an input line reactor. Since the nameplate ratings of motor drives (ASD) varies widely by manufacturer, this helps to assure that the reactor maximum current rating is compatible with the nameplate current rating on the ASD. Units rated above 400 amps to 750 amps have service factors of 1.25 or higher. The service factor rating compensates for ASD manufacturer variances in motor drive current ratings and for harmonic currents. Nominal inductance is assured all the way up to the service factor current rating. PWM / IGBT PROTECTION: Guard-AC reactors are protected against the high peak voltage and fast rise time voltage pulses associated with PWM waveforms. The dielectric strength is 4000 volts rms and Guard-AC reactors meet the ratings of an inverter duty motor (NEMA MG-1, part 31). For convenience, they can be located either at the motor or at the drive. HARMONIC ATTENUATION: Our unique harmonic compensation assures maximum circuit inductance in the presence of complex waveforms and can be relied upon to minimize input total harmonic current distortion (THID). Additionally it offers superior absorption of transient voltage spikes. Our standard reactors will typically reduce 6-pulse rectifier input current harmonics to the following levels at full load operating conditions: 3% reactor alone 45% or less THID 5% reactor alone 35% or less THID 3% AC reactor + 3% DC link choke 33% or less THID 5% AC reactor + 3% DC link choke 28% or less THID (DC link choke inductance is basis of % ac impedance). Reactor Surface Temperature: MTE RL reactors are optimized incorporating UL approved insulation and flux technology designed to operate at temperatures up to 200°C. Surface temperatures greater than 160°C at nominal ambient are considered hot. Reactors used for output filtering will tend to run hotter from higher harmonics. Excessive Long motor leads can resonate and produce additional heat. 8 KHz inverter switching frequency will push the reactor temperature even higher. To reduce RL operating temperatures and minimize motor dV/dT terminal voltage set the inverter frequency to 2KHz. Additional reactor heating will occur if added output capacitance sets up an undesirable resonance. MTE does not recommend using the RL reactors with supplemental filter capacitors.
